Top 8 Must-Visit Businesses for USC Students

Spudnuts is a USC staple! There is no way anyone can spend all 4 years at USC and never have spent a late night, early morning, or after-party post-game at this establishment. Here, at this shop, they sell everything from donuts, coffee, sandwiches, boba, smoothies, and even milkshakes. Right on Figueroa, Spudnuts is definitely the place to be as a TROJAN!!

Ono Hawaiian BBQ is just across the street from Spudnuts but offers up a cuisine vastly different. With delicious Hawaiian-based offerings, relatively cheap prices, and an almost always accommodating hours, Ono is truly something I implore every USC student to try at least once. Your tastebuds will thank you!

You cannot go anywhere down Figueroa without running that mischevious cat, Felix! Felix the Cat car dealership has seen generations of Trojans pass by its doors and its unique signage is truly something to appreciate.

Situated just past the Santa Monica Freeway, Taco Tamix is a taco truck just within Shryft that definitely caters to the local USC population. Open late until 3am and with delicious food, Taco Tamix is a spot any USC student would want to visit!

While I have only ever seen the USC hotel from the outside, no one can deny that its iconography is indeed iconic. Hosting Trojans, alumni, and their families alike, the USC Hotel is most certainly a USC asset.

Dirt Dog is the best hot-doggery in LA and only a 5 min drive from USC!! Open to midnight, this local business is a must-have and has so much personality in both its food and decorations.

As one of the cheapest places to buy groceries and with Trojan memorabilia around, Ralphs is both a local and USC business.

Los Angeles Coliseum, home of USC Football, is one of the premier sports locations in all of LA. Boasting thousands of seats and a alive with Trojan spirit during games, the Coliseum is both a local and USC landmark!
